System's Super Sect-Chapter 495 - 492. The Impatient Aunt

Wen Ping said, "You can have two more bowls of Spirit Rice; if you don’t have White Crystal, you’ll just have to watch outside... That’s enough talking, Celestial Academy is almost here."

As the words fell, Celestial Academy gradually appeared below the Flying Ship.

Of course, Wen Ping wasn’t visiting, but rather the Flying Ship’s navigation had brought them here and started its descent.

Looking down from above, Celestial Academy didn’t have the grandeur of the Mitian Sect, but it was still much larger than the Immortal Sect, with building clusters that looked like a city.

In comparison, the Three-star Influences around the Xuanse Lake couldn’t even evoke this feeling.

Indeed, the "Earth Emperor’s" home was always more magnificent.

"Let’s land there."

Wen Ping found a secluded forest to land in, stored the Flying Ship in the System Space, and headed straight towards Celestial Academy. He entered the main road from the forest, then directly headed for the Inner Courtyard.

As for why not pass through the Outer Courtyard.

Why is that?

Because he asked for directions.

Wen Ping released a bit of Divine Profound Realm pressure, preventing anyone from blocking his way along the path.

At the moment he arrived at the Inner Courtyard’s entrance, Long Ke spoke, "I’ve scouted; there’s not a single Mountain Suppression Realm entity."

"Hmm."

Wen Ping responded casually, but just as he was about to proceed, a man blocked his path—a man not wearing the Celestial Academy uniform, seemingly around fifty years old, marked by the passage of time.

"Which influence are you from?"

Seeing the man’s aloof expression, Wen Ping instantly had the system fetch his basic information, but Wen Ping didn’t even look down—upon glancing at the influence beneath his name, he immediately reached out with one hand.

A Dragon God Sect member!

"Trying to make a move?"

The Dragon God Sect’s Divine Profound Realm expert immediately punched back, opening two blue Meridian Gates in response.

The sound made everyone around quickly scatter.

The Inner Courtyard’s disciples all knew this middle-aged man was from the Dragon God Sect and avoided him in everyday life, fearing bumping into him. Seeing Wen Ping, an outsider’s Divine Profound Realm visitor at Celestial Academy, initially sparked curiosity, as everyone wondered whether he was here to ally or sabotage. Now witnessing him clash with a Dragon God Sect member immediately upon arrival intensified their curiosity.

The Inner Courtyard disciples who were previously cultivating also rushed towards the commotion upon hearing the noise.

Of course, they weren’t aiming for entertainment.

They wanted to see what was happening.

"Let me do it."

Just as Wen Ping pondered opening the Meridian Gate to apprehend him, Long Ke suddenly spoke.

After she spoke, Long Ke moved in front of Wen Ping and met the fist aimed at him with her delicate hand.

Seeing this, the Dragon God Sect’s Divine Profound Realm man shouted, "Move aside, I don’t hit women!"

"Haha."

Long Ke chuckled lightly, reaching out with one hand towards the fist that abruptly changed direction. Her grip shifted the Divine Profound Realm man’s expression instantly.

Even without releasing Vein Technique, grabbing a fist reinforced by Double Meridian Gates isn’t something just anyone can do.

He wasn’t dull; he immediately realized the woman before him was a hidden expert.

The young and beautiful appearance must be a facade.

She was definitely a century-old hag.

"Courting death!"

Since she was a hag, he wouldn’t hold back.

The Double Meridian Gates trembled, and the crisp sound had barely resonated when he aimed a leg sweep at the Divine Profound Realm member’s speed, stunning the Divine Profound Realm member.

Too fast!

There was no chance to react.

Bam!

A loud crash echoed.

A figure flew away like a runaway horse, hitting the stone gate at the entrance of the Inner Courtyard and piercing through it before smashing into the bluestone on the ground. Normally, common blades and axes couldn’t scratch the bluestone, but now shattered like soft tofu when hitting the Divine Profound Realm member’s body, and the cracks extended around, resembling fierce centipedes.

The path the Divine Profound Realm member slid through was even more terrifying.

A gorge suddenly formed, and upon close inspection, traces of blood were visible, dyeing the gorge red.

Wen Ping’s hand paused. Watching the scene, he quietly withdrew his hand and spoke to Long Ke, who was standing casually beside him, "What are you doing?"

"Helping you, you’d battle for ages, I resolved it with a kick," Long Ke replied.

Wen Ping looked at the Divine Profound Realm expert already motionless in the gorge hundreds of meters away and helplessly responded, "But I wanted to ask him something, and you killed him with your kick. Now who should I ask?"

"Troublesome."

Long Ke left two words and walked into the Inner Courtyard.

At this moment, the Inner Courtyard disciples witnessing this scene were dumbfounded, staring at the Dragon God Sect’s Divine Profound Realm expert while releasing their Perception to probe his Qi.

The closure of Meridian Gates itself explained everything.

He was gravely injured; otherwise, the Meridian Gates wouldn’t automatically close.

A Divine Profound Realm expert and one in the Divine Profound Upper Realm was so fragile.

"This..."

"Dead?"

"Killed with just one kick?"

Those observing from hundreds of meters away sensed this and exclaimed, looking towards Wen Ping, amazed at Long Ke.

Who exactly was this woman?

So powerful?

Could she be a legendary Mountain Suppression Realm expert?

At this point, an Inner Sect Steward among the crowd witnessed this scene, hurriedly stepped forward, and bowed in respect to Wen Ping and Long Ke, "Esteemed seniors are here, it’s an honor. May I know what business brings you here?"

"Who are you?" Wen Ping asked.

Actually, without asking, Wen Ping could deduce from the attire that this person was certainly a high-ranking member of Celestial Academy.

"I am the Inner Sect Steward of Celestial Academy, you can call me Old Wu," Steward Wu introduced himself quickly, and added hastily, "Esteemed seniors, he was from the Dragon God Sect, you..."

Halfway through speaking, Wen Ping raised his hand.

"I fought precisely because he was from the Dragon God Sect."

This statement pleased Steward Wu, transforming his previously worried expression, seeing a Divine Profound Upper Realm expert killed with one kick, into relief.

In truth, he feared they were foes instead of friends.

Now that they stated their stance, regardless of who they were, they were esteemed guests of Celestial Academy.

"Please, this way. Our Vice Dean Hua is currently in the Main Hall," Steward Wu gestured towards the Main Hall direction.

He subconsciously believed they were Vice Dean Hua’s summoned helpers.

After all, Dean Ji had been dealing with those Three-star Influences for two days and likely had no time for seeking reinforcements.

Wen Ping said, "No need for trouble, go find your Dean Ji and tell him someone wants to see him!"

"Um... Actually, Dean Ji is a bit inconvenient at the moment; the two seniors can also communicate with our Vice Dean Hua..." But halfway through speaking, Steward Wu’s expression turned grave.

Because Long Ke spoke.

In Steward Wu’s eyes, Long Ke was a distant and unreachable figure.

A terrifying expert who could kill him with a single punch.

If she spoke, who dared interrupt?

"I told you to find the dean, just do it. Why so much talking?"

"Understood! Understood!"

Steward Wu quickly nodded and ran towards the other side of the Main Hall.

Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes, Wen Ping did not feign the demeanor of a reclusive sage. He went straight to the deceased Dragon God Sect expert and took the Storage Ring from his hand.

He was quite poor now.

If he could gather more White Crystal, he would.

A Divine Profound Upper Realm expert would carry at least a hundred or two hundred White Crystal.

As he got up, Wen Ping noticed that the Inner Courtyard of Celestial Academy was covered in white lanterns and white silk, all appeared particularly new, evidently just after a funeral.

The entire academy was adorned in white silk.

Someone significant had died here.
